# New-RubrikSnapshot

## SYNOPSIS

Takes an on-demand Rubrik snapshot of a protected object

## SYNTAX

### SLA\_Name

```
New-RubrikSnapshot -id <String> -SLA <String> [-SLAPrimaryClusterId <String>] [-ForceFull] [-Server <String>]
 [-api <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```

### SLA\_Forever

```
New-RubrikSnapshot -id <String> [-Forever] [-ForceFull] [-Server <String>] [-api <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
 [<CommonParameters>]
```

### SLA\_ByID

```
New-RubrikSnapshot -id <String> [-ForceFull] -SLAID <String> [-Server <String>] [-api <String>] [-WhatIf]
 [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

The New-RubrikSnapshot cmdlet will trigger an on-demand snapshot for a specific object (virtual machine, database, fileset, etc.)

## EXAMPLES

### EXAMPLE 1

```
Get-RubrikVM 'Server1' | New-RubrikSnapshot -Forever
```

This will trigger an on-demand backup for any virtual machine named "Server1" that will be retained indefinitely and available under Unmanaged Objects.

### EXAMPLE 2

```
Get-RubrikFileset 'C_Drive' | New-RubrikSnapshot -SLA 'Gold'
```

This will trigger an on-demand backup for any fileset named "C\_Drive" using the "Gold" SLA Domain.

### EXAMPLE 3

```
Get-RubrikDatabase 'DB1' | New-RubrikSnapshot -ForceFull -SLA 'Silver'
```

This will trigger an on-demand backup for any database named "DB1" and force the backup to be a full rather than an incremental.

### EXAMPLE 4

```
Get-RubrikOracleDB -Id OracleDatabase:::e7d64866-b2ee-494d-9a61-46824ae85dc1 | New-RubrikSnapshot -ForceFull -SLA Bronze
```

This will trigger an on-demand backup for the Oracle database by its ID, and force the backup to be a full rather than an incremental.

### EXAMPLE 5

```
New-RubrikSnapShot -Id MssqlDatabase:::ee7aead5-6a51-4f0e-9479-1ed1f9e31614 -SLA Gold
```

This will trigger an on-demand backup by ID, in this example it is the ID of a MSSQL Database

### EXAMPLE 6

```
New-RubrikSnapShot -Id MssqlDatabase:::ee7aead5-6a51-4f0e-9479-1ed1f9e31614 -SLA Gold -SLAPrimaryClusterId 57bbd327-477d-40d8-b1d8-5820b37d88e5
```

This will trigger an on-demand backup by ID, in this example it is the ID of a MSSQL Database, creating a snapshot in the Gold SLA on the cluster id specified in SLAPrimaryClusterId
